About the Artist

headshot

Welcome to my website. I have been creating traditional pysanky and original batik eggs since 1980. I work in my studio in Maine, designing new and original batik eggs along with the traditional pysanky favorites. I started painting with oils at age 8 with my mother every Saturday morning in a tiny studio on the New Jersey shore. I entered college as a math major, but within a year I switched my major to art. When I discovered the art of pysanky, I recognized a link between geometry and art, a wonderful new medium for me. Creating these works of art has brought me many hours of pure joy and personal enrichment. Within this site, you will find a selection of original pysanky and batik eggs for sale along with a gallery of eggs sold. There are pages with information about this ancient art and lots of great gift ideas. Take time viewing this site and feel free to email any questions you have. I am willing to take orders for commission custom work as well.
